There were exquisite patterns carved on the stepping stones in the courtyard. As soon as the old man's voice came out, Ye Gu knelt down without hesitation or any words to refute.
The old man was visibly stunned for a moment, "Do you know what you did wrong?"
Ye Gu didn't speak, but looked directly at the old man, without anger, as if waiting for his answer.
Ye Xuhua hit Ye Gu's arm with a stick. He showed no mercy at all. It was a hard blow, but he didn't even groan, and his face was expressionless.
"You really have forgotten all the rules I taught you when you were a child!"
"Since I let you go to the mall by yourself, I think you have forgotten your roots more and more!"
The Ye family is a scholarly family, his father is a university professor, and his grandfather Ye Xuhua is a well-known doctor. If it weren't for Ye Gu's mother, Li Yan, who was in business, Ye Gu would have originally wanted Ye Gu to pursue the path of studying medicine.
But Li Yan's education to Ye Gu was democratic since he was a child, and he never forced him to do anything he didn't like. Even if Ye Xuhua wanted Ye Gu to inherit his mantle, there was no way to interfere with his final decision.
Ye Gu has followed in Li Yan's footsteps since he became an adult. He has even become better than his master. In a short period of time, he has made a name for himself that is even better than that of Li Yan when he was young.
It is the Ye family's consistent rule to speak with facts. Ye Xuhua will not say anything anymore. He still respects Ye Gu's ideas.
But today's visit to the Luo family by Ye Gu is an act that is strictly not allowed by the Ye family. The two families are about to get married. If Ye Gu came to visit simply as a son-in-law, there would be nothing wrong with it, but he wanted to do it so blatantly. Warned Rocco.
Even if there was something really wrong with Luo Ke, the Ye family would never allow Ye Guneng to behave like this.
When Ye Gu was a child, he was punished many times by copying the family mottos. Even though he was unruly in recent years, he never went beyond the rules of the family mottos.
But this time, he showed his sharpness from the moment he entered the Luo family, and dared to warn others in front of the elders. Even if others are wrong, the rule of the Ye family is that people or things in other people's families are not allowed to be casual because of personal feelings. Intervene.
This time, Ye Gu not only violated his family motto, but also concealed it. Looking at his strong character, he was obviously still unconvinced and had no attitude of admitting his mistake.
In this case, Ye Xuhua will never condone it.
This is a rule. If there are no rules, there will be no rules. Regardless of age, there will be punishment for any mistakes.
"This time, since this is your first offense, I won't punish you severely. You go to the ancestral hall and kneel by yourself. When you admit your mistake, you will come out. The family motto will still be copied ten times. If you are not convinced at all, you will not be allowed to come out!"
Ye Xuhua looked at his grandson and felt that iron could not be transformed into steel. He originally thought that he had been working in the mall for many years, so he should be somewhat measured. At the very least, tolerance was his most basic ability.
But he didn't expect that this time he would be so arrogant and mischievous, and his temper would not be suppressed. Sooner or later, he would suffer a loss in society, even if his career was successful, it would be useless.
If a person wants to walk for a long time but safely, the first thing is to learn to restrain his temper. Ye Xuhua knows very well how many people are staring at him and how many people want to pull him down.
The man kneeling on the ground remained motionless and said in a serious tone: "Grandpa, if you think I am wrong, you are wrong, but I don't admit it. If it happens again, I will never change it."
"Grandpa, you have to punish me."
"You!" Ye Xuhua's breath was stuck in his throat, and his wrinkled hands were shaking violently. Fortunately, his body was still healthy, but he was so angry that he couldn't straighten his back.
Angry in my heart, stick after stick fell like this, big beads and small beads fell on the jade plate, the white back in the yard was always straight, but the white shirt gradually became faintly red, like the edge of the peach blossoms in early spring. It's quite unique and beautiful.
"Obstacle! Don't you know you're wrong?!"
The sound of the wind was near his ears, and the wind was so fast that the stick fell, but Ye Gu was still able to barely curl the corners of his lips, and thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, which thickened and did not fall down.
"I don't recognize it."
Even if he were asked to do it ten thousand times, he would still do it.
Ye Xuhua was shaking with anger, and the strength of the stick in his hand was also suppressed by Ye Gu's "denial". He dropped it to the ground and rolled all the way to Ye Gu's feet.
Someone finally ran in wailing outside.
"Ouch, what are you doing!" Ye Gu's grandma burst into tears and knelt down next to Ye Gu, supporting her tightly.
Ji Yin looked at Ye Xuhua, she wanted to go up and hit her chest twice with hatred, "This is your grandson! Are you going to beat him to death?!"
Ye Gu was considered to be the oldest child in the family, and it was not easy to come by. Ji Yin was somewhat tolerant of him.
However, Ye Xuhua still had strict requirements. It didn't matter if he hit her on the palm a few times or on the back like before. This time, she didn't even count the hits. The back was already bruised and mixed with blood, and it looked hideous.
Ye Gu's lips turned white and he straightened his back with a smile. However, he was overwhelmed and unable to find a point of support. His upper body went limp and he could only rely on Ji Yin to support him reluctantly.
Ji Yin saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. It was true that the grandfather and grandson were both bad-tempered. Neither of them was willing to take a step back. If Fan had just said a few words, it would not have reached such an irreversible state.
Ji Yin burst into tears, "For an insignificant outsider, you are so cruel that you want to kill your grandson! I want to see what the Luo family can do to our Agu!"
She has been a teacher for so many years. Although she has a docile personality, she is not a soft persimmon who allows others to bully her. Although Ye Gu has been naughty and mischievous like ordinary children since she was a child, she has always been upright in nature and will never accuse people unjustly. things.
This time, he had his own reasons. If Ye Gu didn't tell them, she wouldn't ask. If he wanted to, he would tell them.
Ye Xuhua didn't like it. After all, he was afraid that Ye Gu would suffer a loss, others would take advantage of him or be resented, and someone would stumble him in the future.
But in the end, the method failed to achieve a good balance, and Ji Yin complained.
With tears streaming down her face, Ji Yin only focused on hugging Ye Gu. After scolding Ye Xuhua, she remembered to ask someone to come in and help Ye Gu into the room.
He found a doctor to treat his wound, but Ye Gu refused, saying in a tired voice, "Grandma, I'm fine. Please call Jin Zhou for me. I happened to have something to talk to him about, and he also said Can you help me deal with it?”
Ji Yin only felt sorry for her grandson. She didn't think much about it and just did it.
After everyone retreated, Ye Gu's Adam's apple rolled slightly. He supported one hand on the side of the bed. All his strength was in one hand. The veins on the back of his hand were slightly bulging and the scars on his back were pulling. After all, he couldn't hold it back and fell. Take a breath of air.
I couldn't help but smile helplessly: "The old man is as fair and unmerciful as ever."
On the half-lifted shirt, there was a faint red and black pattern on the back and side waist. It was something painted on, but the flesh and blood were blurred, and the appearance could not be clearly seen for a while.
Footsteps appeared near the door, as if telepathically, Xi Jinzhou smiled: "Why, you refused to admit your mistake, and you were beaten by the old man again?"
Just as he walked past the screen, he saw Ye Gu lying on the bed, his back covered in bright red, and not a single good spot was left.
Xi Jinzhou frowned and walked closer quickly.
"I was beaten so hard this time?!"
"Is Mr. Ye crazy or crazy?!"
Even though Xi Jinzhou had seen Ye Gu being taught a lesson by Ye Xuhua many times, it had never been as severe as it is today.
"It's not the first time, it's just that you haven't seen it before." Ye Gu said lightly, as if he was talking about a common thing.
This time, he received a serious beating. Xi Jinzhou found the medical kit in the room, "It seems that you are already experienced and have prepared your own equipment. Now that I think about it, it seems that my old man is simply kind."
Ye Gu laughed at himself, said nothing, turned his head and looked at the wall.
Xi Jinzhou was halfway through the process when he suddenly stopped and spoke solemnly.
"Does she know about this?"
For a moment, the head lying on the bed shook.
She didn't need to know.
///
Ye Gu has been there for about two hours. There is a meeting scheduled for this evening, which is a summary meeting once a month.
Liu Min paced anxiously in the office.
As usual, no matter how slow he was, he would have returned to the company within an hour. He always felt that this time was different. The battle to pick up Mr. Ye was different from usual. Those people in black suits looked at It's not a good thing to get up.
A staff member came in outside the door to deliver materials, "Liu Zhu, all the meeting materials have been prepared and placed in the conference room."
Liu Min's face suddenly turned pale, "Okay, you go out first. Before the meeting starts, I will notify you and ask the people in the marketing department to sort out all the sales for the previous quarter. Mr. Ye will use it."
"Okay, I'm out."
As soon as the door was closed, Liu Min seemed to have lost all his strength, his eyes were wandering, and he was at a loss.
Looking at the phone, he was troubled in his heart. The clock on the table was ticking by. Finally, he gritted his teeth and made a call.
Luo Yang was at the consultation office when he received the call. He had just sent Sang Huaiyu away and was preparing to handle some documents before going home.
Looking at the call from Liu Min, I couldn't help but wonder why Ye Gu's assistant called her.
Although it was strange, I took it anyway.
"Hello."
Liu Min raced against time, without saying hello too much, and got straight to the point: "Madam, Mr. Ye was taken away by people from the Ye family this afternoon and has not come back yet."
The ballpoint pen in his hand paused and drew a deep mark on the paper.
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and continued writing.
"What's the problem with him going back to his own home?"
Liu Min shook his head, not caring whether Luo Yang could see it or not.
"No, there was a big battle today. In the afternoon, when Mr. Ye was still with his friends, he broke in and took Mr. Ye away without any explanation, saying that some old man had invited me."
Although Liu Min didn't know much about Ye Gu's family, he also knew that the old man of Ye's family was a decisive person.
Every time Ye Gu was asked to go back, it was either a lesson or a conversation. Not to mention Ye Gu, even Liu Min's legs would tremble unconsciously when he heard Ye Xuhua's name.
"You said he was called home by Mr. Ye and didn't return to the company for two hours?"
Liu Min didn't dare to lie: "Yes."
Luo Yang was thinking about it, then suddenly remembered something, and suddenly stood up from the chair, causing the swivel chair to spin around unexpectedly.
"You called him and no one answered?"
"Yes."
"I understand, please prepare to postpone the meeting."
Liu Min thought he heard it wrong: "Huh?"
In this case, Ye Gu probably won't be able to get out today. Everyone knows that the Ye family has strict rules, even Luo Yang knows some of them.
This time, I am afraid that Mr. Ye is really angry. Ye Gu hit the muzzle of the old man's gun, and he may not be able to get out for a while.
Liu Min had no choice but to make this expedient. He still subconsciously believed in the wife of the future group president. Fortunately, this was just an internal summary meeting, and there was no serious problem in delaying it.
///
"Why are you suffering like this? Since she can't see it, you are suffering in vain."
Sometimes Xi Jinzhou really couldn't understand Ye Gu's brain circuit. He usually had a very fierce temper, but when it came to things like this, he was walking on thin ice, as if he was afraid that if he took one more step, he would suffer failure.
"Hiss!" Ye Gu bared his teeth, "If you wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate, you could have told me earlier!"
Xi Jinzhou rolled his eyes, "I think you are just shy! You know how to change the topic as soon as the topic comes up!"
Ye Gu was the most aggressive and turned over halfway: "You fart! If she were here now, I would dare to say it!"
Xi Jinzhou spat at him: "If you are really brave, I will be your grandson! Otherwise, you will be my grandson!"
Ye Gucai was not afraid of him: "Okay! Just wait until you become my grandson——"
A knock on the door suddenly sounded, untimely interrupting the moment of fighting between the two people.
"Ye Gu, it's me, Luoyang."
